The inner mast member is higher in top level than the middle and outer mast members, as a lift bracket is held in a lowest position, and a chain wheel for the chain to be applied thereover is provided at an upper end part of the middle mast member, residing between a top level of the inner mast member and a top level of the middle mast member.

Abstract: A structure to join a cylinder lifting a cargo-handling tool includes a pair of masts provided on a forklift truck; a pair of second masts vertically moved by mast lifting cylinder disposed adjacent to the first masts; a cargo-handling tool vertically moved with respect to the pair of the second masts by cargo-handling-tool lifting cylinders disposed adjacent to the second masts; a connecting member connecting the pair of the second masts to each other in the rear portion of the forklift truck; and brackets joining the cylinders to the connecting member. In the construction, the cylinders are disposed in the rear of the pair of the second masts; ends of the brackets are joined and secured to the connecting member through joint portions in a state in which the cylinders are supported by the brackets at adjacent positions by the connecting member; and the joint portions are formed in front of the cylinders.
